Art has always been the language through which I understand the world. My practice is shaped by the convergence of nature, spirituality, and the full spectrum of human emotion, forces that feel inseparable, ancient, and alive.

The Blue Ridge Mountains hold a central place in this journey. More than a landscape, they are a sanctuary, layered with mist, shadow, and shifting light. Within their quiet vastness, I sense a presence that feels both intimate and infinite, as though the land itself carries memory and speaks in a language older than words.

This environment informs my surrealist work, where natural elements merge with abstraction to explore unseen spiritual currents. I am less interested in depicting nature as it appears, and more concerned with how it is felt.

Spirituality and emotion move together throughout my work. Human experience is treated as part of larger cycles, growth and decay, emergence and return, where internal landscapes mirror external ones.

Surrealism allows me to give form to what cannot be spoken. Mountains recur as symbols of endurance and solitude, while emotion drifts through each piece like weather, temporary, powerful, and transformative.

Art, for me, is not a destination.
It is a passage.
